Technique Junkies 1-4-1 and Blog Candy

The Technique Junkies newsletter is a HUGE source of inspiration for me. In our Yahoo group, we share inspiration by sharing cards and tips, and can choose to join a monthly 1-4-1 swap. This month my partner was Betty A. This is the card I sent Betty:

I used a Technique from the June/July newsletter called Spray Away- it is very shimmery IRL. The girl image is from an unmounted plate from Rare Image Rubber Stamps and the sentiment is from SU. I stamped the girl more than once and layered her on the background- she is colored with Copic markers. I dotted on some white gel pen for added accent.

Here is the card Betty Ackley sent to me:

The technique is called Color Sandwich- I love the image and the background folder combination, and Betty's play on color.

The Rare Image Rubber Stamps I used- well- I LOVE this sweet sheet of stamps, so I thought I'd offer one as candy. The owner is a Technique Junkie- Nancy Judd.
Here is a picture of the entire sheet of images:

If you would like a chance to win this sheet of stamps, just leave me a comment below. I will pull a winner Saturday August 6th.

If you want a second chance at the images, post the image on your sidebar and come back and leave a SEPARATE comment.

I love both of the cards but love, love, love the background on your first card. That sweet little girl is the perfect image and I would like to thank you for the chance to win her along with all of the other lovely images on that sheet!Thanks!

Hello Shelly - your cards are adorable - and those images - they are divine - I would dearly love to get them INKY, thanks for the opportunity! I am off to add them to my sidebar and will be back to comment - thanks again! Woohoo!! {{{hugs}}}

Hi ShellyI visit every day, however; I think this is my first time leaving a comment! I love the Gothic arches but were a bit intimidated by them. You have done a wonderful job with it and that image from McMahon is beautiful. I have not used any of their images in a while, I will need to start back as I hit slump. I have been creating but not posting, so I've got to do better!
